A slightly cooler morning temperature meant the weather was perfect for practice. Some fitness with the ball and small sided games were the themes for today as we kept it short with a quick 30 minute lift afterwards. Most guys have recovered from the weekend with one or two kept out of after the warm up as a precautionary move. Couldn't fault the effort in practice and I will be looking for the same intensity in every session this week as we plan for Saturday.
With games throughout the world today I was unfortunately watching the Wales v Serbia world cup qualifier online and I couldn't believe how poor Wales were. An embarrassment and one commentator described the performance as that of a pub team. Good news is after only 2 games in qualifying we are pretty much done so I will not be spending the money going to Brazil in 2014 for the World Cup.
Tonight saw the USA play Jamaica in Ohio in a rematch of Saturdays game in which the Reggie Boys shocked the USA with a 2-1 win in 'The Office" in Jamaica. A defeat for the USA would have put their World Cup qualifying hopes in tatters but in a scoreless first half where the US hit both posts and crossbar and the Jamaica goalkeeper had the game of his life they still needed a breakthrough. It came from a free kick which the GK should have saved, from Hero to Zero and the US got the win they needed and got their stuttering qualifying campaign back on track.
